This sub-series consists of miscellaneous publicity photographs documenting all aspects of the Canadian Aviation Electronics company activities from the 1940s to ca. 2000. It is worth noting that there is a lot of overlap between the project photo files (which were used primarily for operational purposes) and the more purely publicity photos.
Of additional interest, many photographs are stamped C.A. Barbier. In 1925, Charles-Auguste Barbier acquired the Alfred Charbonneau, photographer business on Notre-Dame Street in Lachine. Barbier was a professional photographer, operating until 1969, when the business was taken over by Pierre Giroux. The business continued to operate under the name C.A. Barbier until it closed in 2008. Most of the photos by Barbier are in a separate photo project files sub-series, but there are some that have ended up being interfiled here.
